[Intro: tense guitar harmonics, irregular toms] [Verse 1: intimate rhythmic baritone] You walked a wire above the floor With everybody keeping score One shaky step, your balance broke And laughter filled the room like smoke I didn't have a clever line Just reached my hands out in time [Pre-Chorus: climbing melodic thirds] The world has plenty throwing stones It needs more people catching those [Chorus: explosive soaring melody] I'll be the net beneath the wire Not another voice demanding higher If you stumble, if you fall You haven't lost your worth at all Take a breath and try once more I'll help you find the steady floor [Break: distorted rhythm guitar, slap bass] [Verse 2: conversational melody] You tried again, your hands still shook I showed you where to place your foot No promise that you'd never fall Just room to learn beyond it all [Bridge: half-time, fragile baritone] We cannot take away each risk But we can change what failure is [Final Chorus: stacked harmonies, cathartic] I'll be the net beneath the wire Let courage rise above the fear A kinder world gives people room To fall and still be welcome here [Outro: bright major resolution]
